A steel beam is connected to a wall via a hinge and supported with a steel cable that can withstand up to 3000N of tension before it breaks. The beam is uniform and has a mass of 225 kg and a length of 3m. The cable is on an angle of 27 degrees with the horizontal beam. A flower pot of mass of 30 kg is moved a distance X away from the hinge (left end of the beam). Find the value of the maximum distance X the flowerpot can be moved before the cable breaks.
